Jhulan Goswami was accuracy personified even in one of her last international games but England's lower middle-order put up a gutsy fight to take the home team to 227-7 in the first Women's ODI, here on Sunday.

Goswami, 39, was parsimonious, giving away only 20 runs in 10 overs with as many as 42 dot balls.

She didn't concede a single boundary or six and also bowled a fine off-cutter to get rid of the seasoned Tammy Beaumont (7). At the time of going to press, India were 90-1 in 16 overs.

Dani Wyatt (43 off 50 balls), Alice Davidson-Richards (50 not out off 61 balls) and Sophie Ecclestone (31) were the notable contributors for England.
